[ Makeout Point : Evening : Open ]
[ Yoshika has decided that wandering the town lost aimlessly was good and all, but she should really get a good vantage point to see just exactly how BIG this place was. After all, it felt like she could just keep walking on and on and on and never run out of buildings!

So, here she is, at the popular park-and-snog spot, taking a look out at the lights of the streets and buildings in the distance. It was kind of impressive. She's never seen anything like it; or rather, she doesn't remember if she has.

But it turns out she isn't alone here. Maybe there is one car — maybe there are a dozen. But the point is that these cars are parked, and not driving around, but they are also playing music and making other strange sounds?? Clearly this means she should investigate! So Yoshika shuffles through the dirt and gravel towards a vehicle.

Your vehicle.

Don't mind the pale, ambling figure as it stalks up to the car and scratches at the windshield or the hood. ] What are you doing??

((OOC: So here is Yoshika, Ruining the Glorious Moment. Open to anyone parked up there, whether it's a single person, couple on a date, or otherwise! Bendy-time means every thread is the first thread (unless she gets Master Spark'd, which gets to be LAST), so don't be shy! She doesn't bite. Yet.))

[ Phone : The Next Day : No Filter ]
I still don't know how I should use ....

Oh.

It's upside-down. [ Rustle rustle. She comes in clearer, now. ] So, okay! There.

How do I use the makeup they have here? It's nothing like what I'm used to, but apparently it's my job?? ...I don't want to get droned. Again. [ Poor Kyouko. You have such an idiot not!mom. ]

[Who has failed her filters today, when she is normally very good about not doing this? If you guessed Feferi, you guessed correctly. She meant to filter this to her female friends only, basically. This was definitely supposed to be filtered super-far-away from Eridan, Sollux, the Condesce, and Doc Scratch, too. Whoops.]

Uh. Hey. I need some girl advice, okay? I think I kind of screwed up when the flower thing happened and I think I kind of fixed it but not reely?

So what happened is I kind of had a lot of sloppy makeouts happen because of the flowers. When I say a lot of them, I mean...yeah. A lot. And while I'm pretty much okay and know that things will be cool with pretty much everyone I engaged in them with, there's one thing I'm still having fisshues with.

No, Terezi, it is not you touching my chest nubs. That happened and it's just going to be a thing that happened and we'll never mention it again. It's not most of the kissing, even, because hey, flowers made us all do weird things.

But, um. This is what's bothering me. Sollux and I engaged in sloppy makeouts and then it got reely awkward. Like, the 'remember that time back in the Veil where we had a thing?' kind of awkward. I have no idea how to make it not-awkward anymore.

What do I do?

Aradia, sorry I made out with your matesprit. I understand if you're mad.

[Phone]

So, since he's a little shy, I'm calling to let everyone know that Pope Alessandro is going to have a meeting this afternoon in the Park to talk to those of us that believe in non-Christian faiths. He wants to understand the other religions out there, like Buddhism, Shinto or some others, like any good religious leader should do!

So, come down to the Park at 3pm and talk to the Pope. Maybe everyone will get some understanding out of this.


[Action - Park - Afternoon]

[Marisa had picked Alessandro up from his house in the car and drove him to the park. Now the two of them sat on a bench by the statue of the mayor and waited to see if anyone showed up for the meeting. Marisa knows she railroaded the Pope into this, but she really thinks he needed to talk to the non-Christian people of faith and learn that calling them heretics just isn't nice.]

[ooc: Replies to the action prompt will be from Marisa or Alessandro. If you want one of them specifically, toss it in the subject, plz!]

What is paradise?

For the person who brought us here, this place is paradise. After all, they can play with their toys all they want, break them all they want, and repair them all they want. The same for their play set. And in a way, I guess that is a valid paradise, isn't it? In the end, comfort is what everyone wants to some degree. And this place must make our captor comfortable, so I suppose that then is paradise.

But what's paradise to one person isn't to another, as we're finding out here. I suppose, then, if you had to design paradise, a perfect world: what would it be?

[Sol is, of course, understandably upset about waking up in a strange place (maybe a strange time, too) after dealing with I-no. He's also disturbed about his limiter being missing. The first thing he does upon waking in his new bed was to check himself in the mirror. The Gear mark on his forehead is missing completely, along with the limiter. Hell, he had nothing on him, not even the Fuuenken. Something is very, very wrong. It wasn't the same time period at all...All of the old technology that he remembered from many years ago was right here in front of him. Well, not all of it, just most of it.

When he finally picks the phone up to make a call, there's only a few words from him.]

A musician in red. Anyone seen her?

((OOC: Action is fine for residents of 1124 Taylor, if you'd like that.))

Phone:
Ah, ah! Hello, everyone! This is Sara Mudou. It's my birthday! It's strange to think I've been in Mayfield for so long. Am I really sixteen years old now? Do we even age here?

Action A. // Grocery Store:
[Sara is wandering through the store, looking for something but not being able to find it. When she spots an employee or fellow shopper who doesn't look like a drone, she'll go right over to them.]

Ah, excuse me! I'm sorry to bother you!

Action B. // Library:
[Sara is wandering through the rows of books, but never quite seems to find what she's looking for. One after another, she slams them shut and crams them back onto the shelf they came from. She's becoming increasingly frustrated.]

Action C. // Random Mayfield sidewalk:
[Sara is walking home when she's randomly accosted by several drone boys. All of them have flowers and gifts for her, and all of them are vying for her attention at once. Sara seems pretty flustered and overwhelmed, but every time she tries to step away, a drone blocks her path. Looks as if she could use some help.]

[ACTION - THE POST OFFICE

There's very little point in Shadow hanging onto the motorcycle he'd regained in November, seeing as he can now run anywhere or teleport anywhere within the town's limits. So---with only a little bit of difficulty---the hedgehog's managed to wheel his motorcycle into the post office for a swap.

At least this way, he'll be able to regain something more practical---more essential to him than a vehicle. And it won't cost him an arm or a leg.

In return, the Postman offers Shadow a small, red envelope. Within said envelope is what appears to be a single sheet of paper that's been marked with a familiar insignia...



Well. That could mean just about anything for Shadow. But before he can even ask the Postman what this truly represents, the human's already vanished into the back of the Post Office. Figures.

Only one way to find out...]

[ACTION - JOHN DOE PARK

...And that means a test is in order. The hedgehog already has his suspicions as to what this could possibly be, but...]

Haaaaaaaah!

[Suddenly, Shadow's engulfed in a crimson aura. Chaos Energy. Likely amplified by the Emerald in his possession. Just as he had thought. Such raw, unfiltered power...]

Chaos... Blast!

[In a burst, the energy spills forth in a wide shockwave, leaving massive gashes in a nearby trio of trees and slicing a lonely lamppost clean in two. Yipes.]

[ Action: 7134 Brooks Lane ]

[ Residents of this humble abode will find Ambrosia at the helm with a bottle of rum in her hands. She's usually rather chipper, but today she seems to be rather somber. And, actually, if anyone catches a glimpse of it, her cheeks are stained with her tears, even if she's doing a crap job at hiding it. ]

Here's t' ye, old man.

[ And down goes another swig of rum. Wanna see what has her so down? ]

[ Phone | Midday | Filtered from drones. ]

Ahoy, there! I got t' thinkin' last night - there's plenty of people here who need t' let things out, aye? So, I'm gonna be holdin' a bonfire at Makeout Point. Ye really don't gotta attend, but I just thought it might be nice fer those who wanna just stand 'round a fire 'n let things out.

Just lemme know if yer gonna attend 'n I'll get some stuff ready. See ya there.

[ Action: Makeout Point ]

[ When people arrive at Makeout Point, they'll find an already going bonfire with plenty of stuff to eat and drink around it with Ambrosia already there. She'll greet your character and offer them something to drink and eat and invite you to join her by the fire. ]

( OOC: For the log, just mingle around the fire - tell stories, make s'mores - do anything you want! There's a thread set up for people who want to talk with Ambrosia directly, too. If there's any questions, you can ask me them in IM/plurk/PMs! )
